In the whirlwind that is 2018, there has been a notable lack of high-end twisters.

We're now days away from this becoming the first year in the modern record with no violent tornadoes touching down in the United States. Violent tornadoes are the strongest on a 0 to 5 scale, or those ranked EF4 or EF5.

I’m sure the climatologist accurately predicted that in 2018 this anomaly in the climate change curve would occur. /s

AGW is what’s technically called a “non-falsifiable theory,” meaning that any plausible outcome can be (and often is) -attributed to it. Part of the purpose of a scientific theory is to predict future results. Since AGW predicts all possible results, it’s useless as -science.

We had a pretty violent tornado in Connecticut on May 15. Trees down everywhere in my neighborhood. I lost power for over a week!

But it wasn't a violent tornado. Nope, just a gentle spring breeze. You must not have been trimming your trees sufficiently, not matter that your city code forbids dramatic trimming.

Violent tornado - one that hits the weatherman's’ house.

Non violent tornado - one that hits your house.

Having experienced F0 through F4 tornadoes (and being out of town when the F5+ hit Wichita Falls in ‘79), I can assure everyone that any tornado above F0 will certainly get your attention, and your insurance agents’ attention.

Unless you're a storm chaser, this is not bad news.

Washington Post will always find the cloud in the silver lining.

Global warming/climate change has ended. Everyone can go back to worrying about snail darters.
